Here are 11 ideas children (and staff!) will actually love — and you won’t need a second mortgage to fund them.

Part journal, part keepsake — our bestselling Recollection Books guide Year 6 pupils through their memories and hopes for the future.

  • Personalised with their name and school logo
  • Includes space for teacher and friend messages
  • No photo collection or admin required

🧡 Just hand them out — pupils do the rest.
